Chelsea Draw no bet @ 3.85 (+385)

and Chelsea 0 AH  @ 2.35 (+235)

also + 1 @ 1.65 (-135)

the home team should never be at 5.60 (+560) at this stage...against overrated Barca...



Looking at Barca's record under Guardiola in the knockout phase of the CL, where they play away from home first:

2008-09
Last 16: Lyon 1-1 Barca

2009-10
Last 16: Stuttgart 1-1 Barca
Q-Final: Arsenal 2-2 Barca
S-Final: Inter 3-1 Barca

2010-11
Last 16: Arsenal 2-1 Barca
S-Final: Real Madrid 0-2 Barca

2011-12
Last 16: B Leverkusen 1-3 Barca
Q-Final: AC Milan 0-0 Barca

So in 8 ties, that's a record of 2 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats.

Out of those 8 teams Barca played, I would estimate Chelsea are better than 3 of them I would estimate (Leverkusen, Stuttgart, Lyon).  While the record still has two draws and only one win, it looks more realistic.  I see no way Chelsea wins this match outright, they will sit back and hope for a draw; only way they win is if they can catch Barca on the counter which I doubt because its the first leg and should be stingy. 

Good luck regardless, I have no money on the game, but I think the matchup is two teams in completely different weight classes.

thats what exactly gonna happen .. if you watched the game against tottenham.. the counter attack were lethal in the second half...there will be alot of defending in the midfield as well...now we gonna see what happens with Luiz and Cahill both injured..

nothing is impossible ..just like today's game Bayern M dominated the 2nd half..CR7 was lost in this one...

If you think Tottenham is anywhere in the same realm as Barcelona then you are in trouble with your bet.  I agree, their best chance is to counter attack, but I just don't think they have the talent to do so.

Chelsea only beat Tottenham because of phantom goal, before the incident Spurs were playing better and that changed the game wide open. And if you think Messi is gonna be lost just like CR7 was against Munich you pretty much don't know how big the gap is between the best player in the world and the most media overrated diva pseudo soccer player in the world! If Mourinho said Barca was already in the final is because Chelsea is the weakest of semifinalists. For crying out loud, they were outplayed by a 10 men Benfica right at Stamford Bridge! They don't have a chance!

i think the play is to pound barcelona to win champions league at -125 ish if your book has it. no way im laying -650 for barcelona to advance over chelsea too much juice, and dont want to lay ml -141 on road incase it tie which is possible. so also bayern won, i think it good to pound barcelona to win uefa champions league -125. then next week hedge a bit maybe on real madrid to beat bayern in the 2nd league. id think barcelona for sure would beat bayern, and they probably will beat real madrid too if they had to face them, but real is a better team than chelsea

Chelsea are unbeaten in last 12 and also not beaten at home in the CL...
The line is way too short. For Barca @ 1.70..

unbeaten against EPL teams is a very different proposition though, you'll likely hate hearing this but I really dislike Chelsea...their arrogance as a club has always been sickening since the billionaire-man took over. Terry is a complete dud who's best asset is his press conference mouth, Lampard is English football's most overrated player who's bulk of goals come from the penalty spot.

I only just typed in that idiots name on the internet to find stats on how many goals he has kicked from a penalty and not surprised to see his ridiculous mouth make the headlines yet again "I'm proud Lionel Messi has not scored against us"

Well done Frank!

Now watch Messi put on one of the finest champions league clinics in a while as Barca win this game 2-0.

Best of luck, chelseafan!
Hope chelsea will win tonight, but...??
Hype was big before the Bayern game. Never thought that Real would play such a poor game, especially after scoring the equalizer  - despite the upcoming Barca game. To see Bayern vs. Chelsea in The final would be great:)

Barca is on par with Spain, I think many of us would agree.

Where Torres, didn't even make the club and plays way too many minutes on Chelsea.

Barca struggles but wins 2-1 here, at least

Actually, if you thought Chelsea were value before the game started, this HT bet should be the bet of the year for you.  Up a goal, at home, +550..
